D. LAND USE ELEMENT
Planning Division: This request is located in Geyer Springs West Planning
District. The Land Use Plan Commercial (C) for this property. The Commercial
category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of products,
personal and professional services, and general business activities. Commercial
activities vary in type and scale, depending on the trade area that they serve.

(Open Display District) to allow a new retail store to be built.
Master Street Plan: South of the property is Frontage Road to Interstate 30 and
it is a Freeway on the Master Street Plan. The primary function of a Freeway is
to serve through long distance trips. Freeways are always designed as full
access control roads (no direct access). Entrances and exits should be limited to
minimize negative effects of traffic and pedestrians on 1-30 since it is a Freeway.
This street may require dedication of right-of-way and may require street
improvements for entrances and exits to the site.
Bicycle Plan: There are no bike routes shown in the immediate vicinity.
E. STAFF ANALYSIS:
James Robert Boles, owner of the 2.916 acre property located at 10010 Interstate
30, is requesting to rezone the property from "R-2" Single Family District to "C-4"
Open Display District. The property is located on the north side of Interstate 30,
approximately 1,200 feet east of the 1-30/Baseline Road intersection. The rezoning
is proposed for the development of a retail store facility.
The 2.916 acre property is currently undeveloped. Remnants of an old asphalt
drive, parking and concrete building foundation exists within the south one-third of
the property along the 1-30 frontage road. The remainder of the property is
undeveloped and tree -covered. The overall property is relatively flat.
The property is located in an area of mixed uses and zoning along Interstate 30.
The R-2 zoned property to the north/west contains a State Highway Department
maintenance facility. Undeveloped C-3 zoned property is located to the north
along Mabelvale Pike. Nonconforming commercial structures are located on the
R-2 zoned property immediately to the east, with C-4 zoning and uses further east.
C-4 and PCD zoned property is located to the west. Mixed commercial and light
industrial uses are located on C-3, C-4 and 1-2 zoned property located across 1-30
to the south.
The City's Future Land Use Plan designates this property as Commercial (C). The
requested C-4 zoning does not require an amendment to the plan.

Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning. Staff views the request as
reasonable. Staff feels that the proposed C-4 zoning represents an appropriate
continuation of the zoning pattern in this general area along Interstate 30. There is
existing C-4 zoned property to the east, west and south (across 1-30). In addition,
there is an abundance of C-3 and 1-2 zoned property within this area. Staff
believes that the proposed C-4 zoning for 2.916 acres will have no adverse impact
on the adjacent properties or the general area.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the requested C-4 rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (AUGUST 3, 2017)
The applicant was present. There were no objectors present. Staff presented the
application with a recommendation of approval.
The application was placed on the Consent Agenda for approval as recommended by
